That's a good deal but I already have all those except the live stuff which I don't really care about.

It's a helluva deal. Too bad I don't like BOC.

If these were all remastered I might consider it but I can't find anything that clarifies that.
EDIT: I just noticed that this set includes a remastered version of Imaginos - my favorite BOC album. Now I'm reconsidering.

Although to be honest, I don't think the remaster of Spectres did squat for the sound. The piano intro to Golden Age Of Leather still sounds garbled which is a shame because that's one of my favorite BOC songs.

I don't think columbia remastered Imaginos so if this one has Imaginos remastered then you'll have to rethink, your rethink

I'm a huge huge BOC fan and I had to get this for that price. $63 you can't beat it, it's like the Metal Massacre box I got about 12 years ago for $25.

DAMN! after you posted this yesturday I kept thinking about it. I asked my gf to get it for me for christmas. Thats a really awesome price. and for those other discs being remastered is even better.
Is the song order of Imaginos changed? because wasn't that album suppose to be a concept album but when they released it, it was all out of order?

I dont know. I have been working on my BOC collection but this does it for me in one fell swoop. Now I am contemplating the ELO box.

Cool song. I love the song Harvest Moon, which I believe is on that album. I forget.

Yea I already filled my BOC collection but seeing that most of these will most likely sound better than some of the ones I got I might as well throw it on the christmas list. Actually my gf ordered it for me the other day. I said see this, BUY IT!
I figure I'll just sell off the ones I got and keep these.

Very tempted on this. There would be a couple of double dips but since the ones I have were gotten cheap I can somewhat justify it. I may wait to see if any place may offer any Christmas deals before I pull the trigger. I know importcds has had site wide specials before.
